88 ~ Spring Weather

Wind, sun, rain and all at the same time. Our Tenerife weather feels like spring. Some mornings are chilly enough to see the steam rising on my tea.

Bibi watches the birds through the open window.

They are waiting for their food and when there is none they take it from the cat's dish outside. Or come close to my window and look inside, waiting for me to fill the food tray.

An interesting sight for a cat, and so close.

Later when the rain has stopped I can go out into the garden.

Bibi follows me and gives a morning kiss to her friend Tigger, who lives in our garden.

We're so lucky to have such mild temperatures and next week they will be between 23 to 26°C (mid 70s F). Makes one feel sorry for those up in Europe where there is still heavy snow and temperatures below zero.

But I'm so pleased to see that my former city of residence, Vancouver, Canada is having such wonderful sunny weather for the Olympic games. The usual Vancouver rain has stopped for these exciting events allowing the world to see just what a beautiful city it is. I'm enjoying watching the games on Eurosport TV.

There is a good link here on Eurovisionsports.tv for watching them on your computer if you live in Europe, and you can catch up with podcasts on everything from the opening ceremony onward, with many of them in HD and full screen.

Ashleigh...I hope you have good weather and even if it rains, the air is warm and the sun always returns. Fuerteventura is a beautiful island with awesome white, clean beaches. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time!

Andrea ...yes the weather is still changeable here isn't it. I just rescued my washing from another shower.

Nimenos....Bibi is lovely but I wish she didn't bring those poor lagartos into the house!

debsgarden...beautiful here but the recent winds have broken off many new shoots in the garden. However things grow back quickly here.

Marysol...Thank you. But there is always much beauty in your blog photos. You are an expert photographer and always catch the small details!

Welcome to Tenerife Journal!

I'm Canadian from Vancouver Island and have been living in Spain since the 1960s, first in Palma de Mallorca, then on the island of Ibiza and now on Tenerife in the Canary Islands. Photography has been my most active hobby for some years and the Canary Islands offer wonderful photo opportunities with their dramatic volcanic landscapes and lush vegetation. My Memories of Mallorca on Canarybird's Nest tells how I came to be living in Spain. Tenerife Journal is about my current life on this beautiful island. I hope you will find something interesting to read on both my blogs. I'm currently working on a third blog: Food Photo Tips. I welcome your comments. Thanks for the visit!
